Counting Alligators

"Chompers, play! Chompers, play!
It's Alligator-Alligator-Alligator Day!"

Dawn to sundown, page to page, alligators spring to life in this rollicking
family party. Readers of all ages will delight in meeting the quirky characters,
seeking and counting gators one by one as their spirited celebration unfolds.

In Counting Alligators, gifted artist Stera Ekwosonae takes the whimsy of
Lyn Hoopes' poetry and soars, creating an ingenious world of play.

Award-winning author of a number of picture books including Wing-A-Ding, Freefall, The Unbeatable Bread, and two poetry collections, Little Fox Feet and Wild Spirit Song. Lyn lives in Maine and adventures widely, weaving the world's surprises and mysteries into her work. As a poet-in-residence, she brings the wonders of nature to children in the classroom, inspiring them to listen to the world around them and their thoughts within to discover their own voice as they write poetry.

STERA EKWOSONAE

Intuitive artist and designer, Stera delights in humor, imagination and the reflections of joy, whimsy and beauty she observes from the wild without and within.
